Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 RGB 2x8Gb KF548C38BBAK2-16

A dual-channel RAM kit with a total capacity of 16 GB (2x8 GB), which is distinguished by the presence of a backlight with synchronization, high clock speeds and support for XMP 3.0 technology. The kit belongs to the new DDR5 standard, which in 2022 began to gradually replace the still active, but outdated DDR4 standard. Thanks to a fundamental change in architecture, an increase in the number of cores and parallelization of data processing channels, the capabilities of the DDR5 format are significantly superior to DDR4.

For example, this kit immediately starts up at a frequency of 4800 MHz with timings of 38-38-38 and an operating voltage of 1.1 V, and its theoretical peak frequency can reach 6000 MHz. But even without overclocking, Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 RGB 2x8Gb guarantees throughput in the region of 48,000 MB / s, which is almost twice as fast as the predecessors of the Fury Beast family.

By the standards of 2022, such equipment belongs to the highest price category and is designed for owners of flagship gaming PCs, overclocking enthusiasts, and owners of workstations equipped with rather expensive new-generation motherboards with LGA 1700/AM5 processor sockets and support for the DDR5 specification. To keep the hot memory controller in check, Kingston engineers equipped the kit with fairly tall and thick black heatsinks with an aggressive design and complex backlighting. Like all representatives of the Beast series, the kit is valued not only for its speed, but also for the high quality and reliability traditional for the series. Memory flies into any system without any whims, metal heat exchangers effectively cool the chips and the memory controller, and RGB lighting is easily synchronized with components from other manufacturers.
